This is the best summary I could come up with:

Kevin Klein has agreed to purchase the Winnipeg Sun, where he once the publisher, Postmedia said on Monday morning.

The group is also purchasing Postmedia's commercial print division in Winnipeg, including all associated digital properties, contracts and other related parts of the businesses.

"In an age where information is abundant and easily accessible, the role of local journalism is more crucial today than ever before," Klein said in a news release.

"We are honoured to take ownership of these local newspapers and are dedicated to preserving their legacy of providing trusted, community-focused news."

Klein has been writing a regular column for the Winnipeg Sun since he was defeated in last fall's provincial election.

Last Friday, Klein didn't return CBC News' requests for comments about the pending sale.
